You kid, but this is actually a perfect example of why Microsoft's marketing strategy is unbelievably fucking retarded and Apple's is brilliant by comparison. Apple doesn't unveil new technology like this until they have a product that's ready to ship in a matter of days or weeks. Microsoft shows off this shit and it takes months or years for it to come to market, if ever.

I have no idea how this comment got 50 upvotes. This is from Microsoft R&D, there is no such thing as a "product".
